Along with the release of the Windows 7 release candidate came new system requirements for Microsoft's next operating system. This updated set of requirements has been declared final, making them the official system requirements for Windows 7 final. Seeing Microsoft's rather... Dubious past dealings with minimum system requirements, let's take a look at Windows 7's.

I haven’t removed any services yet
but thats the important thing when slimming down windows
my minimum xp-sp3 configuration used 40mb out of the 192mb available.
you can even go below the 40mb-mark, but at this point you realy loos functionality (like copy&paste and other essential things)
in my opinion xp-sp3 is no problem with 128mb, even without special treatment
but it will probably need some time after booting to swap unused stuff

I’d like to know how you managed to get it to < 100MB. I haven’t removed any services yet, but I nLite’d the disc, and then emptied every process I could out of the startup. I disabled WinUpdate and every process I could. (It boots with only 17 processes).
